| 1293 | Pharmacologic Prevention of Osteoporotic Fractures
 Bisphosphonates are the most effective
agents for reducing the risk of vertebral and nonvertebral fractures. Other
options include teriparatide, raloxifene, and salmon calcitonin. Although
hormone therapy reduces fracture risk, the benefits may not outweigh the
reported risks.

| 1315 | Management of Acute Nasal Fractures
Injuries to the nose are relatively common; in cases of facial trauma, nasal fractures account for about 40 percent of bone injuries. Treatment in the primary care setting consists of evaluation, pain and infection management, minimal debridement and, when the physician is appropriately trained, closed reduction. |
